Zhou Shuren pointed at the jewelry on Zhulan's head, "I guessed it from the pearl headwear your daughter brought back."
Zhulan was stunned for a moment before realizing and saying, "You mean, the Xu family intends to secretly fish for pearls? The Xu family wants to use this to scheme against Lady Li, and thereby against the Zhou family?"
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Otherwise, I can't think of how a mere fishing boat could scheme against us. In fact, secret pearl fishing has always existed. If you look into it closely, you'll find that many fishermen who are good at diving in various fishing villages suddenly disappear because they are captured and forced to fish for pearls on ships. For some forces with strong backgrounds, it's very easy to launder pearls that are fished privately."
